A MoNARoHIsTIo MANIFESTO.
The Count DE Paris Favors a Return
to Royal Rule.

PARIS, Sept. 1.-THE Count de Paris. in
Q manifesto, approves the recent action OF
the royalists. in the chamber of deputies, but
says: ''The apparent calm Ill conceals the
perils of the future. The instability OF the
executive has isolated France in Europe.
Nobody has confidence. The situation I'M
poses duties upon the monarchists in the
country, who, unshackled like those in par
lament by limited mandate, must
show France how necessary It Is
and how easy IL will be to
restore monarchy and must reassure her
against imaginary dangers and prove that
transition can be legally effected. In vain
does congress proclaim the eternity Of the
republic. The day that France clearly mani
tests her wishes no obstacle or procedure
will prevent revival of monarchy. Expert
ence, however, gives small ground to the
hope for a peaceful transition. History fur
nishes many reasons by which to f0resee one
OF those violent crises which seem
of periodical character in the life of
nation."- The count predict Is that republican
misgovernment may provoke such crisis,
store order and concord. Such monarchy
will not mark return to the past, but be
suited TO the progressive ideas, In which sta
bility and true liberty will be secured by q
constituent assembly or by popular vote.
Dwelling npon the advantages of strong
government of monarchist control, compared
with republican uncontro!,. the count states
that equal authority will belong to the sem
ate, which will be partly elective. The
budget will be made up in accordance with
ordinary law, subject to annual amend.
